Answer: 3 Calories of heat will be required by silver to raise the temperature to 1°C.
Explanation: Specific heat is defined as the heat required to raise the temperature by 1°C for 1 gram of substance.
Mathematically,
[tex]q=mc\Delta T[/tex]
where,
q = heat required = ? Cal
m = Mass of the substance = 50 g
c = Specific heat of the substance = [tex]0.06Cal/g^oC[/tex]
[tex]\Delta T[/tex] = Change in the temperature = 1°C
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]q=50g\times 0.06Cal/g^oC\times 1^oC\\q=3Cal[/tex]
